Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A power supply comprising: a plurality of power supply modules each arranged to output power on a plurality of channels; a current share controller arranged to control sharing of an output current requirement across first channels of the plurality of channels of the plurality of power supply modules; and at least a second channel of the plurality of channels in each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules being arranged to track an output voltage of the respective first channel of the plurality of channels in each respective power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules under all loading conditions, wherein a common transformer is employed for the plurality of channels within each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules.

2

2. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 and including redundant power supply functionality.

3

3. The power supply as claimed in claim 2 and comprising an N+1 redundancy architecture.

4

4. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first channels of the plurality of channels comprise a regulated channel.

5

5. The power supply as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the second channel, and any subsequent channels of the plurality of channels comprises a non-regulated channel.

6

6. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the current share controller is configured to provide a balanced load-sharing between the plurality of power supply modules.

7

7. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the current share controller comprises a control feedback means.

8

8. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules comprises a current share controller and a control feedback arrangement.

9

9. The power supply as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules employs an internal adjust on a regulated channel of the plurality of channels by way of a single external share line.

10

10. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules employs a single power supply unit.

11

11. The power supply as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each power supply module of the plurality of power supply modules comprises a switch mode power supply controller and the common transformer.
